I sold my Corvette and I am now looking to step up and purchase a Generation II Viper. I would prefer a 2001 or 2002, I want a convertible (do not want a coupe). I have a few questions that I am hoping this forum will help me answer?
1. I am 6ft and 3 in tall, will I fit in a Gen II Viper, I fit well in a Corvette, but I sat in a new Viper at the Auto Show and it was tight, but I was not able to move the seat?
2. I am aware that the Gen II Viper does not have traction control, is the car difficult to control?
3. I know that the Gen II comes with a hard top, how difficult is it to put the hard top on and off, also I believe you can purchase a soft top is this difficult to take on and off and can the soft top fit in the car, fore example if I got caught in the rain? Also is removing the tops a one or two person job?
4. I believe that the Gen II Viper has power windows, ac, etc, what are the features that a Gen II (1997 -2002) Viper will have that Gen I (1992-1996) Viper will not have? Also if my dates are wrong please let me know.
5. Any features or issues that I should look for when purchasing a Gen II Viper?
6. Roughly how much money do you think I should spend on a 2001 or 2002 Viper?
7. Also anything that a forum member believes I should know about owning a Viper?
I appreciate all the help and can’t to wait to make an actual purchase of an automobile and share my pictures. Thank you so much.
